General Marshall Selected for Job
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. <ILE> — James Francis Byrnes, criticized both for being too tough and too soft with the Russians, resigned tonight as secretary of state and will be succeeded by Gen. George C. Marshall, former army chief of staff.
Marshall had been called back from his post as President Truman’s special peace envoy to China and is expected within 10 days. Byrnes’ resignation will take effect Jan. 10 or as soon thereafter a? Marshall is formally sworn into office.
The Byrnes’ resignation, although rumored for months, came as a surprise especially since it becomes effective almost on the eve of the Big Four foreign ministers council meeting in Moscow to begin negotiations on the German and Austrian peace treaties.
MOST IMPORTANT SHIFT
In announcing the most important shift in President Truman’s cabinet since Byrnes succeeded Edward R Stettinius, Jr., as secretary of state in July, 1945, the White House revealed that Byrnes first asked to be relieved of his job last Apr. 16.
But Mr. Truman persuaded him to stay on.
At that time he told President Truman in a letter that his doctors had warned him to “slow down.
In a letter dated Dec. 19, he suggested that the important change be made before the talks on Germany and Austria begin in Moscow in March.
FOLLOWS BARUCH
Byrnes’ resignation came only three days after Bernard M. Baruch quit his job as American representative on the United Nations atomic energy commission and only about four months after his row with Henry A Wallace over foreign policy ended in Wallace's resignation a* secretary of commerce.
The change in the American secretary of state is expected to please the Soviet Union. Marshall had much more experience than Byrnes with the Russians during the war. He sat in on all the important wartime conferences, whereas Byrnes had had no experience in foreign policy matters when he took over the top cabinet post.
BITTER EXPERIENCE Byrnes has had bitter experience with the Soviets — having fought in private council meetings for months over the satellite treaties and then having carried his fight against their kind of peace treaties to the public at last summer’s Paris peace conference.
Marshall’s wartime experience in planning America's war effort, his close relationship with the late President Roosevelt, and his national and international prestige as a soldier and statesman, will give him a good start in his new job. SPECIAL DIPLOMAT He is one of the first military men in recent history to be secretary of state. But for 13 months, since his resignation as chief of staff, he has been President Truman's special diplomat in war-torn China.
On the eve of the momentous announcement of the change in direction of America’s foreign affairs. Marshall issued through thc state department a blistering Indictment of both warring factions in China. His statement was regarded as one of the most forthright on a difficult foreign policy issue in a long time.	|

Specialized, General Work In Curriculum .
SC’s curriculum committed has recently approved plans to expand university facilities in radio education to include a four-year course within the Institute of the Arts for radio majors.
For the benefit of student* * who wish to specialize within the field of radio, the course is being set up to provide for both a general and a specialized major in radio.
The radio major will be design- ■s ed so that the student will have two things: (1> a thorough fundamental educational background and (2) an appreciation and understanding of radio techniques and the responsibility of radio to its audience and society, according to William H. Sener, head of the department.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT
The specialized major will be offered four specialties from which he may choose in order to complete requirements toward graduation. They are radio writing, radio announcing and acting, radio production, and radio management.
The first two years of undergraduate work will be specifically geared to take care of all unive: sity requirements, as well as elude special courses recommended by the department as supplemen] tal to each specialty.
General radio majors may ti courses from any of the special group courses toward their degree* but will also have to satisfy their university requirements during the first two years of lower-division undergraduate work. Many cours-# es outside the field of radio will be designated as courses for back-ground for radio students. OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTORS "We hoped but never really expected to be this far along.” said Sener as he recalled a similar statement made to the Summer r News, July 24, 1946, when he nounced that the SC radio d*» partment was to offer seven rar dio courses and the opportunity to become a staff member of KUSC.
He said then: “We hope to bring to the campus outstanding radio people as instructors to provide a maximum amount of particip and interest to the student.*
During the seven months the SC radio department
part of the university as a department of the Institute of the Arts, it has set up radio station KUSC. built up a full-time radio staff, broadcast five live shows daily; and has finished its campus A.M. station KTRO, and begun a four-year course in radio.
Demand has been such.” said Mr. Sener, “that visitors will be allowed to the KUSC radio broadcast of the Hancock Concert fcour from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Hancoci auditorium. The Hanock hour features artists from the Hancock ensemble, College of Music, and the Hancock foundation. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Until further notice tickets will not be needed.”
Veteran's

“All veterans who plan to terminate their training at the university at the end of this semester should complete the necesrary forms as soon as possible,” ur^c^ Dr. Philip A. Libby, coordinator of veterans’ affairs, at SC.
These forms may be obtained at the office of veterans’ affairs and should be filled out in duplicate. One copy should be left with that office and the second filed with one of the training officers.
